Backup Tape Media: Delivered Next Day, Pre-Labelled

For many years the industry has been saying “tape is dead”, here we are in 2018 and we find that tape has never had such an important and strategic role for the protection of critical data, due to its high capacity, low cost, protection ability against cyber attacks and regulatory compliance for the GDPR.

An example is LTO-8, which can store up to 30TB of data on a single piece of media. Consider this - once data is backed-up onto the media it is instantly ‘off-line’ with no route for modern threats to delete the data automatically, and can be safely stored for many years ready to be recalled for search in the scenario of a ‘subject access request’. By storing archive data on tape, expensive primary storage can be used for what it is meant for – the delivery of ‘now’ data at the performance required. Data that is not accessed regularly can be stored on cost-effective tape media, offline and safe. With recent innovations such as LTFS, tape media storage is more accessible to users than ever.
